Natural Resources Wales (NRW) Woodland sub-compartment data
Data Is-adran Coetiroedd CNC
The NRW Woodland Sub-compartment Database (SCDB) is to be our authoritative data source, giving us information for recording, monitoring, analysis and reporting which supports decision-making on the whole of the NRW woodland estate.
Information from the SCDB is used by NRW, wider government, industry and the public for economic, environmental and social forest-related decision-making. Furthermore, it supports forest related national policy development and government initiatives, and helps us meet our national and international forest-related reporting responsibilities.
The Inventory SCDB, will help provide a definitive measure of trends in extent, structure, composition, health, status, use, and management of NRW land holdings. We require this to meet national and international commitments, to report on the sustainable management of forests as well as to help us through the process of business and Forest Design Planning. As well as helping with the above, the SCDB helps us address detailed requests from industry, government, non-government organisations and the public for information on our estate.
NRW's growing national and international responsibilities and the requirements for monitoring and reporting on a range of forest statistics have highlighted the technical challenges we face in providing consistent, national level data.
Mae'r Gronfa Ddata Is-adran yn ddisgrifiad ffisegol o'r tir mae CNC yn ei reoli. Y Gronfa Ddata Is-adran yw ein ffynhonnell ddata awdurdodedig, sy'n rhoi gwybodaeth i ni ar gyfer cofnodi, monitro, dadansoddi a hysbysu. Trwy hyn, mae'n cefnogi'r gwaith o wneud penderfyniadau cyffredinol am ystad goetir CNC. Defnyddir gwybodaeth o'r rhestr gan CNC, y llywodraeth ehangach, diwydiant a'r cyhoedd er mwyn gwneud penderfyniadau economaidd, amgylcheddol a chymdeithasol sy'n ymwneud â choedwigoedd. At hynny, mae'n cefnogi datblygiad polisi cenedlaethol a mentrau llywodraeth perthnasol sy'n ymwneud â choedwigoedd, ac yn ein helpu i gyflawni ein dyletswyddau cenedlaethol a rhyngwladol o ran adrodd am faterion sy'n ymwneud â choedwigoedd.

The Sub-Compartment Database (SCDB) contains a physical description of the land that the NRW manages on behalf of the public. It was originally a database of individual site or sub-compartment records which contained both crop and site information.
The SCDB is not just about trees, 70% of the land that we manage is of a forest nature, yet 30% by definition is not. This non-forest land covers, farmland, open mountaintops, heathland, estuarine and riparian habitats.
Sub compartments are areas that are similar in land use, species or habitat composition, yield class, age, condition, thinning history etc. to be treated as a single unit. They will generally be contiguous in nature and will not be split by roads, rivers, open space etc. Distinct boundaries are required, and these will often change as crops are felled, thinned, replanted and resurveyed. In some parts of the country foresters used historical and topographical features to delineate sub-compartment boundaries, such as hedges, walls and escarpments. In other areas no account of the history and topography of the site was taken, with field boundaries, hedges, walls, streams etc. being subsumed into the sub-compartment.
